I’m Leaving
You
Submitted by Steve Simard
A woman, cranky
because her husband
was late coming home
again, decided to leave
him a note.
“I’ve had enough and
have left you. Don’t
bother coming after
me,” the note read.
Then she hid under
the bed to see his
reaction. After a short
while, the husband
comes home and
she could hear him in
the kitchen before he
comes into the bedroom.
She could see
him walk towards the
dresser and pick up
the note.
After a few minutes,
he wrote something
on it before picking up
the phone and calling
someone.
“She’s finally gone...
yeah I know, about
bloody time. I’m coming
to see you and we
can have some fun. I
love you.”
He hung up, grabbed
his keys and left. She
heard the car drive off
as she came out from
under the bed. Seething
with rage and with
tears in her eyes she
grabbed the note to
see what he wrote.
“I can see your feet.
We’re out of bread. Be
back in five minutes.”
The only thing common between a stork and an obstetrician is the long bill.

Sleepover
Submitted by Tyla Davis
Steve was over at
Jimbo’s house one
day playing cornhole.
All of a sudden, it
started raining cats
and dogs and the two
men ran inside to take
cover. After a couple
of hours, there was no
sign of the rain letting
up.
“I can’t let you go out
in this storm,” Jimbo
said. “Why don’t you
just crash here for
tonight?”
“Yeah, that sounds like
a good idea,” Steve
responded.
So Jimbo went into
the guest bedroom to
make up the bed with
new sheets and leave
fresh towels for
Steve.
As Jimbo was working,
he heard a knock
on the door. Jimbo
hurried to go answer
it. When he opened
the door, there stood
Steve, soaking wet
and shivering from the
cold rain.
“Steve, what are you
doing? Why are you
outside?” Jimbo
questioned.

Clockwork
Submitted by Tyla Davis
In the late 17th century,
Christiaan Huygens
developed the first pendulum
clock, designed
from a concept by
Galileo that pendulums
could be used to keep
the time.
Excited for his new
development, Huygens
decided to tell his
friends about what he
was planning. As he
explained it, his friends
had looks of confusion
on their faces.
“So there will be 12
numbers on this clock?
So the day will be divided
into 12 segments?”
asked one friend.
“No. There will be 24
segments in a day,”
responded Huygens.
“So will the day start
at 1. Like counting?”
asked another friend.
“No. The day will start
at 12.”
“Oh. So 12 will be first
thing in the morning?”
Now
Hiring!
“No, 12 will be at night,”
answered Huygens.
“I’ll be honest, easily
telling time sounds nice,
but the implementation
is very confusing,” another
friend said.
“Oh, and another
thing... 6 means 30.”
I went to see the doctor about my short-term memory problems.

School Play
Submitted by Tyla Davis
Little Timmy came
home from school all
excited one day.
“Dad, Dad, I got a part
in the school play!”
“That’s wonderful,
son!” the dad exclaimed.
“Who will you
be playing?”
Timmy answered, “I’m
playing a middle-aged
man who’s been married
for 25 years.”
“Well, that’s okay, son.
Maybe next time you’ll
get a speaking part.”
I read recipes the same way I read science fiction. I get to the end and I think,
“Well, that’s not going to happen.”

Missing Person
Submitted by Steve Simard
A lady calls the police
to report her husband
is missing. The police
arrive and ask for a
description. She tells
them he’s 6'2" tall,
blonde wavy hair,
and has a smile that
makes everybody love
him.
The police then go to
the next door neighbor
to verify this report.
The lady next door
tells the police, “You
can’t believe her.
He’s 5'4" tall, has no
hair, and he wears a
perpetual frown on his
face.”
The neighbor walked
over to the lady’s
house and asked her
why she would give
the police an incorrect
description of her
husband.
Work Tips: Stand up. Stretch. Take a walk. Get to an airport.
Get on a plane. Never return.

Dominic was on a
business trip abroad
and was getting homesick
for some American
cuisine.
He stopped at the front
desk of the hotel he
was staying at to ask
the concierge if there
were any restaurants
that delivered American

No Fear
Submitted by Steve Simard
After the fire-truck
arrived at a burning
building in a small
Spanish town, the
firemen observed
a man dressed in a
matador’s costume
prancing around on
the roof.

Four of the firemen
held a safety net and
urged him to escape
from the burning building
by jumping into the
net.
He refused and loudly
proclaimed, “I’m
Fearless Jose the
bullfighter who is afraid
of nothing, not even
fire.”
The firemen begged
and pleaded but to
no avail. Jose kept
prancing around while
repeating the same
phrase over and over
until the firemen got
really sick and tired of
hearing it.
Finally, when the
flames began to
scorch his backside,
Jose announced he
had changed his mind,
was ready to jump. He
then closed his eyes,
said a quick prayer,
and leaped off the
rooftop.
As his body hurtled
toward the safety net,
the four firemen shouted,
“Ole!” and quickly
moved it aside.

A whale swims all day,

A rabbit only eats vegetables,
runs and hops
all day long and only
lives 5 years.
Meanwhile a tortoise
doesn’t run and does
nothing energetic, yet
it lives for 450 years.
And you tell me to eat
well and exercise! I
don’t think so.

The Fortin Group
Media Partners:
So far, auditions have
been going terribly and
the director is starting
to get desperate. The
director turns to Jason
and instructs him to
figure out a new
strategy to find a few
actors.
Jason puts up flyers
and makes countless
phone calls to no avail.
A few days later, Jason
mentions the issue to
one of his friends
who works at the local
bar.
The friend says, “Give
me three days and
you’ll have all the
people you need for
the job.”
Jason is elated because
his job depends
on it, so he gives his
friend the studio’s
address.
The next day, Jason
goes into work and
finds the director
standing in the empty
studio and fuming with
anger. Jason is confused
and asks about
the situation.

Continued from previous page
The director gives a
short, curt, response.
“You’re fired!”
Jason, still perplexed
by the situation, packs
up his things and goes
home. He turns on the
news that night and
sees that the studio had
been robbed; absolutely
everything was gone.
Jason called up his
friend and asked where
he found the actors.
The friend replies,
“Actors? I thought you
said you needed some
people to be deceptive
cons.”
Jason is furious. He
screams at the man on
the other line, “The job
was acting in a Transformers
movie, you idiot!
I said decepticons,
not deceptive cons!”
